Physical Principles of Sedimentary Basin Analysis

Beschreibung

A thorough introduction to the physical and mechanical basis for the modelling of sedimentary basins, introducing basic, state-of-the-art models and illustrated throughout with real-world examples, applications and test exercises. This book offers a user-friendly resource for graduate students, academic researchers and oil industry professionals.

Autor

Magnus Wangen has worked in the field of sedimentary basin-modelling since the late 1980s - conducting research on a wide range of topics. He obtained a Dr Scient. degree in applied mathematics from Universitetet i Oslo in 1993 with a thesis on the modelling of heat- and fluid-flow in sedimentary basins. Since the early 1990s he has developed two complementary basin simulators used by the oil industry. The first simulator deals with heat flow on a lithospheric scale, fluid flow, compaction, and overpressure in sedimentary basins through the geo-history, while the second simulates hydrocarbon generation and migration. He is currently a research scientist at the Institute for Energy Technology in Norway. This book is based on a course in basin analysis that Dr Wangen taught for a number of years while an Assistant Professor at the University Graduate Center (an affiliate of Universitetet i Oslo at Kjeller).
